Dirk listened intently throughout the briefing, as well as his colleagues contributions to the discussion. Though he was absorbing their conversation intently, he appeared to be staring engrossed into a tablet, white light dancing across his defined features. When there was a distinct pause in the conversation, he looked up and cleared his throat as he scanned the faces of his comrades. One of the older men on the team, he appreciated the young blood brought by both their resident chemist and pilot. He spoke, gently at first, [color=thistle]"I'm afraid my talents are far more reactive than proactive. Unlike most of you, I won't be of much use until I can see our creature in action."[/color] Dirk began, his surprisingly deep and gravelly voice still carrying a light German accent. 

Taking another moment to survey those around him, eyes lingering on the vial of poison held by Huan. [color=thistle]"However, I can still offer my own ideas as to our solution. Firstly, what we are dealing with. As history seems to show in regards to our unfortunate monstrous visitors, they tend to model themselves at least partially in similarity to real life animals we have already populating our planet. Giant lizards, mosquitoes, octopi, et cetera. Now from that photograph of the footprints left behind, we can make a guess as to the nature of our friend."[/color] He said, pausing to clear his throat again. [color=thistle]"From the spacing and number of prints, we can tell the creature is likely eight legged. This, coupled with the nature of the footprints as well as the use of some sort of blade, means we're probably dealing with some form of giant insect."[/color] He said, raising one hand in a clawed gesture, fingers waggling for emphasis. 

[color=thistle]"That being said, the creature likely has an exoskeleton, so I wouldn't count on explosives doing significant damage unless in ridiculously close proximity. Even then, with something on this scale, not likely a perfect deterrent in low quantities."[/color] He said, his grey eyes focused on Lorenzo. He turned to Huan, eyes narrowing in thought. [color=thistle]"While the toxin sounds very promising, do be careful in your delivery system. If our 'molotov' is missed, somebody somewhere is going to have a very bad day. There's a reason chemical warfare is frowned upon, comrade. Still, toxin will likely be a powerful ally in our fight. I'm afraid in the little research I did while you were talking I was unable to find whether or not your toxin would affect an insect quite as well as a mammal. I'll trust you have that knowledge covered."[/color] He said, raising his eyebrows. He considered going on to discuss the pilot's idea, though he felt he had covered it in his words addressed to Lorenzo. 

[color=thistle]"Though far from perfect, here's my personal input on the situation -Our 'kaiju' is eight legged, amphibious, and nocturnal. Should it follow real world convention like many of our past visitors, this would likely signify a cold-blooded creature, quite possibly an insect. As such, my proposed solution is to freeze it -if we can somehow obtain rather large quantities of liquid nitrogen or some other artificial coolant and expose the creature to it, we can at the very least make it more docile in order to either capture or execute it. Of course, this is all reliant on the assumptions I made at the very beginning. This creature could very well be something completely alien in regard to what we know."[/color] He said, shuffling to stuff his tablet into a messenger bag at his feet. He looked up after finishing, pupils flitting from person to person as he made eye contact one at a time, searching for some feedback on his plan.
